Communicable Diseases

Healthcare providers in the State of Ohio are legally obligated to report infectious disease information to local health departments. The specific requirements are contained in Ohio Administrative Code 3701-3.

The Holmes County Health District receives reports from healthcare providers to identify trends or outbreaks of infectious diseases. Based on the information reported, we then conducts necessary investigations to determine the cause of abnormal incidences of infectious diseases.
